Linux@lemmy.ml•How do I turn my Anki deck into multiple choice quiz automatically?
7·3 months agoWhy do you have to mark cards manually? Anki’s algorithm already reschedules cards based on what you’re struggling with. Additionally the card browser has an ease filter that you can sort by.
How is the quiz you want different than what Anki already provides? Is it that instead of providing the answer from memory, you want to be provided a list of choices? I’d argue if you’re studying, it is better to do it the “hard” way by just knowing the answer, and then acing the test since its the easier multiple choice format. When I did Net+ and then Sec+, most of my questions were formatted this way, but I also manually added the multiple choice questions that were in my study book. For that I listed all the choices in the question field, then just the question and answer in the answer field.
Lastly, this isn’t really a Linux question though, as Anki is cross-platform. You may get more response on Anki’s forums.
I use ckb-next to make my RGB keyboard work on Linux. Maybe you can find some ideas by looking into that project
My LineageOS phone already has a “share WiFi” feature that displays a QR code as well as the SSID and passcode I thought this was standard on all modern phones
So guests use their phone data to access a publicly available list of WiFi credentials and then use that to connect to your home network???

Linux@lemmy.ml•I have used Windows all my life, and I have some questions.
133·8 months agoHow do OS updates work in Linux? Is there a “Linux Update” program like what Windows has?
This is known as a package manager. The package manager (along with some default settings and preinstalled packages) is what makes each Linux distro different. For instance, Debian uses apt, Arch uses pacman, Gentoo uses emerge.
Each package manager uses a different way to upgrade software. For instance
apt updaterefreshes the global list of available software and versions andapt upgradefinds differences between that list and what you have installed, and upgrades as needed.There also snaps and flatpacks, but I don’t support the use of those.
How does digital security work on Linux? Is it more vulnerable due to being open source? Is there integrated antivirus software, or will I have to source that myself?
Yes and no. Open source allows attackers to find vulnerability in code, but also means more eyes are on that same code and able to fix those vulnerabilities.
Although permissions can largely be ignored on Windows, its critical to Linux. Its a little much to explain here, but a standard install is fairly secure because of permissions. The important thing to remember is to harden the root account (no remote login) and be very careful what you execute with the sudo command.
Many people [incorrectly] don’t use AV because historically Linux hasn’t been much of a target due to low adoption. The trifecta of software I use are ufw as a system-level firewall, fail2ban to block an attacker who tries to bruteforce entry and repeatedly fails, and ClamAV for AV.
Are GPU drivers reliable on Linux?
Yup
And also, what distro might be best for me?
I think Mint is currently the recommended distro for new users. It used to be Ubuntu, but canonical has been doing some very anti-community things lately.

Final Fantasy XI is still a beautiful game and is self hostable, but as with most MMORPGs, you need lots of people to get the full experience. Luckily if you’re hosting your own, you can always mod settings to make yourself lvl 99, turn off enemy AI, teleport anywhere, or whatever.
